The monsters cured by me always want to repay their favor

Because of climate change, even in the north, Dongcheng has not seen snow for several years.

Who ever thought that it was less than December, and the heavy snow came unexpectedly.

Everyone was very excited when they first saw the snow.Someone screamed excitedly in the tall building, and passers-by took out their mobile phones to take pictures and send them to Moments.Even Lu Duoxi felt the joy of Luoxue standing on the street.

The wind and snow fell continuously.

Snowflakes fell on the roof of the building, on the treetops, and on the street, and the sky and the earth were dyed white as far as the eye could see.

Snow will soon cover the world, but there is still no sign of stopping.

The wind was still howling, and the temperature dropped accordingly.The snow that fell on the road turned into ice, even if there is a special person to clean it, it is still a drop in the bucket.Traffic accidents occurred on many road sections, causing traffic jams in large areas.In just a few hours, the traffic in Dongcheng was paralyzed.

In the restaurant, several people sat in front of the TV, watching the news broadcast on the impact of snowfall on the city.

There were melons and fruits on the dining table, and while knocking on the melon seeds, Lao Zhang said with emotion: "Everything is abnormal, and there must be a demon."

"It's not what it is." The head popped out from nowhere, floating in the air with emotion, "I'm afraid it will be troublesome if it goes on like this."

While everyone else was making comments, only Xia Chuan was silent.Lu Duoxi turned his head and saw him quietly gnawing on apples and eating oranges, and a pile of melon and fruit peels was piled up in the trash can at his feet.

Apart from food, nothing seemed to attract Xia Chuan's attention.

Lu Duoxi peeled the orange in his hand, and when he was fascinated, he reached over and touched the orange with one hand.Lu Duoxi gave Xia Chuan a sideways look, and the other party smiled at Lu Duoxi, and put the orange into his mouth with familiar movements, as if Lu Duoxi peeled the orange for himself.

It's going to be the end of the world outside, and his employees are still full of food, Lu Duoxi can't laugh or cry.

The wall clock on the wall rang, Xia Chuan glanced back and reminded Lu Duoxi: "Dean, it's six o'clock."

"Huh?" Lu Duoxi was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize that it was time for dinner.Facing Xia Chuan's expectant eyes, Lu Duoxi pursed his lips and stood up.

Seeing Lu Duoxi go to the kitchen, Xia Chuan immediately got up and chased after him, with an affectionate tone: "What shall we have for dinner tonight?"

The wind was rumbling outside, and the sky was covered with heavy snow, and it was chilly just looking at it.

"It's such a cold day, of course we need something warm to warm up." Lu Duoxi made up his mind, and asked Xia Chuan to take out the induction cooker, and found a deep pot by himself.

There was a socket on the wall by the window, Xia Chuan placed the electric cooker on the seat by the window, and went back to the kitchen to help Lu Duoxi.

Several plates were placed on the kitchen counter, which were filled with lettuce, enoki mushrooms, baby vegetables, chrysanthemum and other ingredients that would be used in hot pot.

When Xia Chuan saw this posture, he felt a little happy: "I want to eat fennel, tripe, and fried bean curd!"

"Don't worry, there are all of them." Lu Duoxi went to open the refrigerator as he spoke. He bought a lot of things in the morning market in the past two days. He originally wanted to study the dishes, but he didn't expect to eat them today.

In all hot pots, ball products such as fish tofu, thousand-sheet tofu, and sweet and spicy are of course indispensable.Seeing all kinds of ingredients on the table, Lu Duoxi always felt that something was missing.

"Oh, I almost missed the most important thing!" Lu Duoxi opened the refrigerator again while talking, how can there be no meat in the hot pot!

There is still a lot of beef bought in the morning, which has been frozen into shape.The Lu family's knives are fast, and Lu Duoxi took out the beef, first cut it into squares, and then sliced ​​the beef into thin slices.

"Not bad." Lu Duoxi cut five plates of beef, and he was quite confident in his knife skills.

Lao Zhang and Xia Chuan were busy arranging the dishes outside, and Lu Duoxi came forward with the seasoning.

Water was added to the pot earlier, and the pot has just boiled at this moment.

Whether the hot pot is good or not, the bottom material is very important.As soon as the soup base in Lu Duoxi's hand was opened, Lao Zhang could smell it.The soup base looks red and oily, and smells delicious.

Lao Zhang didn't see that Lu Duoxi had bought the base material before, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Dean, where did you buy the base material?"

"My friend in Chongqing gave it to me and said it was delicious. I didn't touch it when I received it, and it was the first time I ate it."

It turned out to be the case.

As a creature from the sea, Lao Zhang has never tasted Chongqing hot pot.He looked at the hot pot base and couldn't help but ask, "Dean, is this spicy?"

"It shouldn't be too spicy." Lu Duoxi once asked his friend if it was spicy, and the friend swore that it was just a little.

If it's just a little spicy, it shouldn't be too spicy.

Lu Duoxi thought about it, struggled for a while, and finally added all the ingredients in this package.

The clear water added to Chongqing's material calmed down for a moment, and it didn't take long for it to roll again.The hot water and the bright red soup are so gratifying no matter how you look at them.

Lu Duoxi sat in a row with Xia Chuan, and Lao Zhang sat opposite them, and the three of them raised their chopsticks and began to move.

Eating hot pot is all about heat and freshness.

Whether it's spinach, enoki mushroom, or beef and veal, if you throw all the ingredients into the hot pot and roll them, the taste will come out immediately.

The dipping ingredients in the bowl are freshly prepared by Lu Duoxi, two spoonfuls of sesame paste and a few drops of vinegar, some oil consumption for some minced red pepper, one spoonful of crushed peanuts, one spoonful of chopped green onion and coriander.I took the chopsticks to stir the dipping ingredients, and then used a spoon to pour some hot pot soup base from the pot, regardless of the dipping vegetables or meat, it was delicious.

There was wind and snow outside the window, and hot pot was eaten inside the room.

Xia Chuan put the louver into the pot with chopsticks, rinsed it up and down for a while, picked it up and put some ingredients in the bowl, and he was satisfied after eating it in one bite.

"Hiss." Lao Zhang inhaled into his mouth while eating the hot pot, the aroma mixed with the spicy taste made him uncontrollably hot, "Dean, did your classmate send the wrong ingredients? How about spicy?"

Lu Duoxi also felt that it was spicy, and he didn't feel much at first when he ate it, but the more it was cooked, the hotter it became.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't trust Chongqing people's evaluation criteria for spicy food..." Lu Duoxi felt his mouth was a little numb, and tears were about to come out, but he still didn't want to put down his chopsticks, so he just picked up the cup and "gurgled" I filled my stomach with water, and I felt a little relieved after half a glass of water.

Here, Lao Zhang and Lu Duoxi both inhaled hotly, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.On the other hand, Xia Chuan, who has been eating from the boiling pot until now, has never stopped talking.

"Xia Chuan, aren't you spicy?" Lu Duoxi pushed the water towards Xia Chuan, for fear that he would forget to respond because of his gluttony.

Xia Chuan was really not spicy, but he took a couple of sips of the water Lu Duoxi gave him, obviously because he didn't want to disappoint his kindness.

Looking at it, Lao Zhang couldn't help muttering: "Dean, you don't have to worry about him at all. Other people's stomachs are made of meat, but Xia Chuan's is made of diamond..."

With Xia Chuan's appetite, an average person's stomach would burst.But look at Xia Chuan who didn't react at all, isn't it just an iron stomach?

Lao Zhang was joking, and suddenly noticed that someone was looking at his lap.Lao Zhang raised his head, met Shang Xia Chuan's thoughtful eyes, and asked puzzledly, "Comrade Xia Chuan, what are you looking at?"

"No seafood." Xia Chuan answered irrelevantly.

"Huh?" Lao Zhang didn't know why, so he didn't react for a while.

"I said the seafood on the table is lacking, why don't you contribute a little." Xia Chuan raised his head and smiled at him with a rare gentle tone, "I see that your legs are so long, and they look delicious. Don't you want to try it?"

Lao Zhang has lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time he heard someone trick him into eating his own leg.Saying that he wants to eat people in front of others, Xia Chuan is absolutely dead.

Lao Zhang stood up abruptly, with an urgent voice: "I'm full, and there are still files on it that haven't been sorted out, so I'll go up first!"

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, before Lu Duoxi could speak to Xia Chuan, he fled upstairs without looking back.

"You, you, how can you think about eating your colleagues every day?"

Xia Chuan just smiled at Lu Duo when he heard the words, and his deep eyes were full of innocence: "I just made a suggestion, and I will not force Lao Zhang if he doesn't want to." Speaking of this, Xia Chuan's tone actually reveals a bit of regret, "In the final analysis, Lao Zhang is not devout enough about food. If I have eight legs, I will appoint a different way to eat them..."

"Hello!" Lu Duoxi interrupted Xia Chuan's words, feeling dumbfounded—

Even if I want to eat, there is no one else.

Before seven o'clock, it was already dark outside.

The house was lit with gentle lights, and the red soup in the hot pot was surging, and the heat continued to rise.After eating hot pot in my stomach, my whole body warmed up.

"The snow seems to be getting bigger and bigger."

With his head held by the skeleton, he lay on the window sill and looked out.There was a lot of snow on the street, and the salt trucks came by, but it didn't help.

Lu Duoxi stopped the movement of his hands, and looked out the window with a red nose: "I always feel that this snow is a bit strange."

Before Xia Chuan could reply, the cell phone in his pocket rang.He paused, and swiped with one hand to answer.

"Old Xia, is that guy in your jurisdiction?"

Xia Chuan took a mouthful of beef and casually responded, "Yes."

Spicy and fragrant.

"Hurry up and make a move. If you let it go on like this, something will happen sooner or later." The person on the other end of the phone was in a hurry, but he still talked to Xia Chuan in a good voice.

"Your business has nothing to do with me, and besides, I'm busy." Xia Chuan scalded a handful of chrysanthemum chrysanthemums, and put them in a bowl with green oil in the pot. Looking at them, I feel hungry.

"Oh, what time is it, why do you still hold grudges? Well, as long as you settle this matter, you can raise any conditions..." The people over there were still talking, Xia Chuan didn't hang up, just Throw the phone on the table and concentrate on eating hot pot.

When Lu Duoxi heard something, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.Just when I was about to ask him what was going on, I heard a "click", and my eyes were completely dark.

The streetlights on the street and the lights of the buildings in the distance were all extinguished, the restaurant was also pitch black, and the hot pot quickly ran out of heat.

"I'm afraid there is a problem with the wiring."

The snow was so heavy that there was a problem with the power supply after the line was broken.

Xia Chuan put down his chopsticks, then picked up the phone and asked over there: "Can you really ask for any conditions?"

"Of course, it's only under the premise that I can do it." Just now I said I don't want to take care of it, but now I want to take action. After the person at the other end said this, he couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Xia Chuan leaned back on the chair, feeling very dissatisfied: "It didn't matter at first, but now it disturbs my meal."
